Ewer 1753 - 1754

This silver ewer, created by French silversmith François Joubert between 1753 and 1754, exemplifies the refined craftsmanship of the Rococo period. Its elegant, pear-shaped body, adorned with delicate floral motifs, is supported by a graceful, fluted foot. The elaborate handle, featuring a scrolling design, further enhances the piece's decorative appeal. This ewer, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, serves as a testament to Joubert's mastery of the silversmith's art and the artistic trends prevalent in 18th-century France.
